The Fowler Graphic gives the follow
ing description of the new artesian vel
near that city:
Reports reached town last week, afte
going to press, that another artesial
well had bssn struck, shout or half NJ
north of B F. Coxa o. the fam Of Jss

derful curiosity. Through the valley, Z
distance of four miles, over the fines,
country in the world. brings US to these
wells, and the thought of artesian water
| flowing in rills over the whole valley.
makes it in anticipation gardenOf eden.
On arriving at the scene of FLOWING
waters, we beheld a scene not easily for.
gotten. The water gushes from two
inch pipe in torrent of surprising force
and volume. A cup in the hands Of IN
unwarned holder is dashed to the gro0nd
The lines of How the water comes down
at LOdore,,' is brought to mind, rs the
water dashes. splashes and clashes; not
down cataract. but up from the bowels
of the earth. The behOlder stands at
first in silent wonder and contsnp1ation
before this novel curiosity. The water
bursts forth with such force that a. yet
it has been impossible to determine with
accuracy the exact amount discharged in
given time. A ditch IS dug down the
slope, to convey the water, and in pass
along this ditch no one could believe
that all the water running there had
flowed from two inch pipe. 1t resem-
bles brook running down the hillside,
the water being over eighteen inches in
width and perhaps foot deep and runs
in swift current. 1t is no easy matter
to predict with any accuracy the varied
benefits to be derived from this artesian
water. The ease with which it is obtain
ed, and the gentle undulating surface of
the valley makes irrigation possible in
all its varied and practical uses. which
assures for this valley future of BRILL
ance and wealth that cannot hardly be
conceived Nor is this ALL Not only
can this flow from subteranean channels,
be made to beautify the face Of nature,
but the finest mill power in the country
can be constructed. 1t has not been de
tcrmined how high this last we'll will
raise the water, but it is probable that
head of forty or fifty feet can be secured.
When eight and ten inch holes are put
down, which can be easily and quickly
done, volume of water will burst forth
that will deluge the country and furnish
endless power to turn all the mills, fac
tories and machinery ever needed in
western Kansas, and that at no cost what
ever; almost as free rs the gentle breezes
that float across the prairie. Let the good |
work of boring for these wells 60 on until
the water in the valley flows Ikea river.
Let Meade county come to the front with
the first water power in the west. Let
be secured here Let the |
face of nature be made glad. Let people
low into our borders. and join in the
grand development the future II sure to
bestow

LIFE IN DEATH.


Lies SfeigAted harque On boaadlese seas to-day
We laanch. odd Heaven pray for favosing gale
We live On death and sing our tears away,
And ore tie tomb We cast the bride vail:
The s0e9oest joye WAieh hsse - earth We know,
Are b0esAe ripsjsAai.s Of hsman woe,
But lent awhile our drooping hearts to cheer.
The corn mnet die before it grow again,
The Aower be crushed to yield its sweet perfume,
Earth gives its treasures to produce the grain,
The bud must burst before the flower blooms
So from the treasure Of the stricken heart,
All that is lovely. all thats pure arise.
We cover mp the wound and hide the dart,
To gain the victory and receive the prize.
II in the sin euned soil a human life,
No Aexer my blosm lnwstered by tear,
II to sllay the pain, or calm the strife,
Demands . sacrihce of treasure here;
What power shall calm the tumult Of the soul,
And etill the storm within the troubled breast,
What touch caa make the wounded spirit whole
When weary Of the toll che seeks for rest
Thine, oh though great Deliver who first
Taught sinful man the will Of Heavens king,
Thine is the power the triple bars to burst,
From sin and death and hell the prize to bring
Faith in thy word doth teach us from above,
Though deaths dark shade lie on our mortal brow,
We SOW In tear and reap In realms Of love,
HArvests Of Joy while ut His throne We bow.
Life is NO mystery, death no more foe,
Light from the cross makes plain the toilsOme
way.
Heaven smiles approving ~ We onward 60,
From shades u earth to realms Of endless day

On earthly coil, once purchased by his blood,
And when our earthly days and years are flown,

Wichita started out to defy the prohib
itOry law of the state. and for her law
lessness she got the benefit of the metro
pOlitan police law. She undertook to
bring this law into ridicule by permitting
the drug clerk Stewart to plead guilty to
2OS indictments. The penalty was pro-
nounced according to law. Now it is
said that Wichita will vote the Democrat
ic ticket to show her dislike of the met
ripOlitan police law This will not do
away with the law. Prohibition is a
state law, and you will have to obey that
law. You refused once and the penalty
is the police commission Manhattan
Nationalist
When Gladstone was prime minister of
Great Britain. a deputation of brewers
waited upon him ond directed his atten-
to the loss the revenue would sustain from
further restriction of the liquor traffic.
The granp old man gave them an atten-
tive hearing until their arguments were
finished, and then he replied: Gentle
men. you need not give yourselves any
trouble about the revenue The question
of revenue must not stand in the way of
needed reforms. Besides, with a sober
population, not wasting their earnings,
will know where to get my revenue"
We commend this answer of one of the
worlds greatest statesmen to the men
and newspapers who are making the
same argument against prohibition in
this country.
